What Are Your Rights and Responsibilities at the site of the accident?

When an accident occurs, the drivers of the vehicles involved are legally expected to remain at the collision site. You have the right to seek information from the parties involved in the accident as per laws governing your area.

According to the Motor Vehicle Act, you are entitled to know the names and addresses of all the drivers and registered owners of the vehicles involved in the accident. In fact, all parties are obliged to provide all the information to identify the driver at the time of the accident, should a peace officer arrive. You are entitled to receive detailed information about the liability insurance or responsibility for each vehicle.

A motorist who does not remain at the site of the accident may face criminal charges under the Criminal Code of Canada as well as the Motor Vehicle Act. The incumbent may lose his driver’s license as well as fines.

Do You Know Your Rights After the Collision?

After the collision, you may not remember that you have to find out information or what you are required to do at each step of the claims process. Handling the consequences of a motor vehicle accident can be frustrating and stressful for anybody.

However, it is very important to gather as much relevant information as you can immediately after an accident has occurred. Information might include the photographs of the vehicle or damaged property, the peace officer’s reports, record information, medical treatment records, and any other data that you are entitled to get legally.

After a car accident, it is also very important to hire a lawyer to pursue for full compensation as claims adjusters may not have your best interests in mind. If you have a dedicated auto accident lawyer by your side, you can rest assured that your interests are represented and that you will have someone to fight on your behalf and to ensure that you get the compensation that you need to cover your medical expenses, lost wages or replacement of property.

In case you have other related issues such as mental anguish, pain and suffering due to the accident, your lawyer may even seek additional damages. A lawyer will be able to assist you effectively through the entire process.

Usually the courts have the final say regarding liability and fault caused by a motor vehicle accident, particularly when there are disputes or appeals. Hence, hiring a lawyer becomes critical in defining your liability and legal rights as per the local laws.
